Heal the nation, abolish the House of Lords

In one of those “careful what you wish for” unintended consequences, anti-Brexit agitators may have unleashed constitutional reforms with a wider reach than dreary negotiations about the product labels and border control (how anyone gets worked up about leaving the EU is one of life’s big mysteries, for me).

In turn, taxpayers picked up the tab for their [...] → Read More
